Living Faith Expands into an On-going Experience

There is a plan for human life to become permanently free from all suffering and human limitation by consciously becoming Immortal. You can raise your life into fulfillment by understanding the hidden Plan and the Law of Life which when acted upon will propel you into having a direct and ongoing spiritual realization experience, validated by the authority of your personal relationship to the Source. Conscious physical immortality can be yours, so that, you gradually transform into a unified expression of the Source – the Father Mother God of us all. As you raise your life into alignment with this plan and higher will, you’ll discover the true meaning of life. There is a great purpose for you to fulfill, and the entire Universe waits upon your attainment.

The key to this attainment of Life Mastery is in allowing your faith to expand into your whole heart and mind. Saturate your whole being with love of Omnipresence. Give thyself unconditionally into this supreme service; for as you awaken into mastery of the Life Principle, the whole being of the Universe rejoices. Only through faith and trust can you forge a relationship with the Eternal God. As you open to hear more of the divine purpose, and choose to enter into the understanding of this approach to Life, you will become flooded with the desire for deep fulfillment and God perfection. This powerful intention and focused desire to take your life into the higher life is the fulfillment of the highest Will. You can experience throughout your day deep fulfillment and pure and simple happiness as you make the effort to realize and live the divine design. You’ll experience the joy of participating in relationship with the Source, a part of which lives within you. Consecrating and directing your conscious mind and heart, and your human free will into living in harmony with the Eternal will give you access to the doorway into Light. It establishes you into the next evolutionary phase of human life, and it fulfills the requirements necessary to become a permanent and fully conscious Individualization of the eternal God within this local universe. This is a necessary step. It is a conscious initiation that must be attained, and there are certain steps along the way that will anchor you into the eternal initiation.


We are standing at the doorway of a moment on the cosmic clock, at the end of a huge cycle of human evolution. This culminating moment is your golden opportunity to unlock the doorway of immortality, and your entrance requires understanding your godhood – your divine identity, your creative accountability, and your power to co-create with eternity. The power that you will discover in the right use of your creative accountability will awaken in you the ability to transmute all your imperfections into divine Perfection –personal godhood. This self revelation propels you into self actualization and a deeper expansion of being aware that you are a part of the Whole.

MIT Master in Training Retreat into the Eternal Verities with Michael of Nebadon

Unto you who would seek the true empowerment to create only Love, to bring forth the God power within, and to command all imperfection into the Perfection of Light. The way of freedom and victory is to have living faith and trust in God necessary to dissolve all things unto pure Spirit. God must become a living reality in your life. You must become bold in order to actualize your true individuality; the awakened personality that the Universal Source originally intended for you. Learn to discern His Will from your own; for that is the most direct route towards achieving the gift of His Initiation into Eternity. Ignite the spark of God within you into a full flame through the adventure of transfiguration, resurrection, ascension. And then ye can say that you love God, in Spirit and in Truth. With Sacrifice you will be able to purify your memory that remains lodged within the energies of your etheric body. Surrender to the greater plan and will opens a way to master the mind and the sacred power of your thought. Selflessness brings to us a mastery of the misdirected desires of the lower nature; we are then able to take dominion over the baser nature and animal instincts of the emotions. Service above all is the driving force of all sentient beings who wish to expand their own self consciousness while at the very same time furthering the Self consciousness of the Universal Whole. This is the Path of the Masters.

Living Science of Eternity

I am teaching you of the Living Science of Eternity which when applied by you daily awakens your existence upon the very shores of personal immortality. This is what the Eternal Verities are. This is the Kingdom of His Sovereignty and how to approach Him within thyself; not by following any outside source apart from thy deepest greatest selfhood . . . thy Godhood brought forth to perfect and quicken the limitations, aging, self-destructive impressions and tendencies within thy field of receptivity...thy life field of thought, emotion, memory, records, and causes for all the outer effects that you each have set into motion over the manifold lifetimes of your personal explorations, maturations, and developments as a Sun of Righteousness; for the Life Force of the Godhead exists as the electronic particles and atomic structure of all thy energies within thy field. These are the sacred verities of eternity... the eternal inner understandings of the Kingdom of Heaven which I gave forth to those closest to me during that time back in the days of Galilee.

I am offering to each of you, if you do not have it already, The Spiritual Promise of Life Everlasting booklet which also comes with the Embracing Eternity Exercises booklet.

Email our office if you'd like to receive it from us as a God Free gift to you.

Letter to Michael from a New Aspirant

Hello Michael.. good evening to you my friend..
I have never felt so strong and confident before as I am today.. My knowing and feeling of I being the One God Force has been greatly enhanced and empowered by my continuously efforts on bringing that density and darkness that is imposed upon my God Force to dissolve.. to quicken it.. to accelerate it BACK into whence it came from.. the One Force that I AM, and that is everywhere present.. My invitations and decrees are a much more natural part of me, and I'm doing it without much thinking and hesitation.. My trust, faith and confident is increasingly becoming a knowing of the Precepts/Ideals, the Flames of our Brothers and Sisters and the guidance and leading of my Father Spirit within me.. In such short time Michael.. as you know.. like 3 months.. I've already come to this state!.. This natural relationship with the Precepts/Ideals, Flames and my Father Spirit.. I feel and experience myself to be a true Son of the Father, and our relationship is as real as a taste of the water.. If not more Real and even more giving than the water, and it even brings and end to my thirst much better and more fulfilled than the water.. His energies are intense, vibrating Life.. and when I feel it the most, it is the best feeling.. I vibrate with the Life that I AM.. and this has come to my realization simply because of my transfiguration of my density, darkness and heavy thought that has separated the Life from within with the Life from without.. Simple as that.. I love my Father, for He has truly kept His promise of a life more abundantly and successful.. Bless Him.. I could no no else than to worship Him and His Glory and Grace and Magnificent devotion to Me, and all His creatures..

With love for you Michael, and the Father we all worship and love so intimately..

Jesus Speaks

After we were comfortably seated, Jesus proceeded with the conversation.

"When we stand one with the sum of all Intelligence, and recognize ourselves as an actual part of that Intelligence, and know conclusively that this is the Great Principle, God, we shall soon find ourselves conscious of the fact that all intelligence throughout the whole cosmic Universe is working with us. We also realize quickly that the intelligence of all great genius, as well as the little mentality of the single cell of the body, is working with us in perfect harmony and accord. This is the One Great Intelligent Cosmic Mind that we are positively allied with. Indeed, we are that very Mind; we are the self-consciousness of the Universe. The instant we feel this very thing, nothing can keep us from the Godhead.

"From this Universal Consciousness we can draw all knowledge; we know that we can know all, without studying and without process of reasoning, not going from one lesson to another nor from one point to another. The lessons are necessary only in order to bring us to the attitude in which we can step forth into this thought. Then we become comprehensive and include all thought. There is a complete stream of motivating thought that is irresistible and we know that nothing can divert us from true  accomplishment. We are with the whole; thus we move on irresistibly with the whole. It is impossible for any condition to keep us from our accomplishment. The drop of water is only weak when it is removed from the ocean; replace it and it is as powerful as the whole ocean. It matters not whether we like it or whether we believe it. It is Intelligent Law and we are that very thing.

"The sum of all Truth is the Great Principle, God. Everything from Eternity to Eternity, whether we think it is a great truth or a little truth; every true word, thought or spoken; is a part of The Great Truth, One Great All, One Universal Truth, and we are that very thing. When we realize this oneness and stand absolutely with Truth, we have the whole of Truth back of us and our irresistibility is increased. It is the force of the ocean back of the wave that gives the wave its power; that, too, is but a portion of God-force which man also is.

"The sum of all Love is the Great Principle, God. It is the sum of every affection, every fervent emotion, every loving thought, look, word, or deed. Every attracted love, great or small, sublime or low, makes the one infinite love stand forth and nothing is too great for us. As we love unselfishly, we have the complete ocean of Cosmic Love with us. That which is thought least is greatest as it sweeps on to absolute perfection; thus the whole Universe of Love is consciously with us. There is no great power on earth or in heaven than pure love. Earth becomes heaven; heaven is Humanity's true home.

"Finally, the sum of every condition, every form, every being is the One Infinite Cosmic Principle, God, whether it be individuals, worlds, planets, stars, atoms, electrons, or the most minute particles. All together make One Infinite Whole, the body of which is the Universe, the Mind, Cosmic Intelligence; the soul, Cosmic Love. Woven together as a whole, their bodies, minds, and souls are held together with the cohesive force of live; yet each one functions in eternal individual identity moving freely in its individual orbit and octave of harmony, attracted, drawn, and held together by the love of that universe of harmony. We constitute that Great Being that nothing can thwart. It is made up of every unit of humanity as well as every unit of the Universe. If a portion of one unit excludes itself from the whole, it makes no difference to Principle Being but it makes a vast difference to the unit. The ocean is not conscious of the removal of the drop of water but the drop is very conscious of the ocean when it is returned or reunited with it.

"It is not enough for us to say that we are close to the Great Cosmic Principle, God. We must know definitely that we are one with, in, and of, and amalgamated entirely with, Principle; and that we can not be separated or apart from God, Principle. Thus we work with the principle of power which is all power. It is the Law that in Principle we live, move, and have our being. Thus, when we wish to come in contact with God, we do not think of something away from us and difficult to attain. All we need know is that God is within as well as all about us and that we are consciously within the presence of God and are present in God and in command with full power. Thus we need not pause, we need not ponder; we take the path directly to God within. Here the Christ stands steadfast and supreme and with God we endure forever.

"Thus we arouse our dead selves into the realization of the life within and that life resurrects us from the dead; we return to life immortal, unchanging. We are convinced of life and of our right to live that life fully and perfectly. The Christ within stands forth and says, `I come that you may have complete life and live that more abundantly.' This must be a true resurrection in our consciousness—an uplifting of our dead senses into a higher vibration of life, truth, and love. As all nature is awakening about us, let us arouse ourselves and see the dawn of this approaching day. Thus, we get up and out of our grave clothes, up and out of all sense of limitation in which we have bound our bodies. We roll the stone of materiality completely from our consciousness, that heavy weight of thought that has separated the life within from the life without; and which has held the life form in death and denied it life because we have not recognized its right to life. Let us get up and out of death—that is what the resurrection means. It is an awakening to the full realization of life here and now—and that life omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient; nowhere absent, nowhere powerless, nowhere unconscious; but everywhere present, everywhere powerful, everywhere conscious, in fullness, in freedom, in gloriously radiant expressive, expanding action. When our hearts flame to this thought and our whole being glows with this life within, we can readily extend our hand and say `Lazarus, come forth! Get out of your grave, you do not belong in death! Come to life! Awake from your delusion! Wake now and here.' Thus we are awakened to the Master consciousness and we shall weep because of the density of thought of those that watch the awakening. Thousands of years of this awakening have been presented to humanity, yet many sleep. But their sleeping does not justify us in doing so. It is because of what we do that humanity is awakened to that rightful heritage.

"As we awaken to our rightful heritage, we shall awaken to the beauty and purity of the age-old message that our bodies are eternally beautiful, pure and perfect. They are always beautiful, pure, spiritual bodies, most magnificent and divine, the true temples of God. This awakening also convinces us that our bodies have never descended from that high estate. We see that it was only a human concept wherein we thought they had descended. As soon as this thought is released, our body is released to its true inheritance of divinity. Then the fragrance of a warm summer evening suffuses all nature and our bodies begin to take on this effulgence. Soon pure rays of white light appear within our bodies; they become aglow with this light; and this soft, yet brilliant, living light invades the clear atmosphere around us like a white-gold vapor. This light increases steadily until it covers and permeates everything about us. Bathed in this radiance, there appears a pure crystal white light, dazzling and scintillating with a radiance greater than that of the purest diamond, yet it is emanating from our bodies and they stand forth ablaze with pure light, radiant and beautiful. Here we stand together on the Holy Mount of Transfiguration, with bodies luminous and glowing, radiant and beautiful, immersed wholly in Divine Life. The Son of man has become the Christ of God and the Kingdom of God is once more among mankind and more vital because others have accepted and brought forth the Kingdom in full dominion. The light of the God Kingdom grows stronger because of the acceptance.

"This is the true body which Humanity has always had and which all have today. Such a body always has existed and always will exist. It is a body so luminous that no germ of old age or decay can find lodgment therein. It is a body so alive that it cannot die. Such a body can be crucified a thousand times and, because of such a crucifixion, come forth more triumphant. Such a body stands forth as the Divine Master of every situation. Such a body is eternally resurrected.

"This is a new-age message to you, the same as it seemed to be a new-age message two thousand years ago. It is the same today as it was then; it is but the resurrection of the age-old message. This message was told thousands of centuries ago in language so simple that babes could read. The message is that man of his own free will shall leave the man-made kingdom and evolve to the God Kingdom. The son of man is to realize his divinity, reveal this divinity in his body and affairs, and become the Christ of God in the Kingdom of God. `Know ye not that ye are gods?'

"Within you, know that this Kingdom of God is the most natural thing in the world. You have but overlooked the fact that if man be in Christ he is a new creature. `It is the Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom, and every man passeth into it.' The question is asked, `When?' The answer always is, `When the without is as the within.'

"The great oak tree that sleeps within the acorn became aroused throughout the whole acorn before the tree could develop. `Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive of the things that God hath prepared for them that love him.'

"God knows that in the great structure of the universe there is a splendid place for every human being and that each has his individual place. The structure can stand only because each is in his right place. Does not this message lighten the burden of everyone and adorn each countenance with a smile, even those of the weary ones who think they labor like dumb, driven cattle? Thus I say to you, you are an especially designed creation, you have a particular mission, you have a light to give, a work to do that no other can give or accomplish; and if you will open your heart, mind, and soul wide to spirit, you will learn of it in your own heart. There you find that your very own Father speaks to you. No matter how wayward or thoughtless you have thought yourself, you will find that your Father loves you devotedly and tenderly the instant you turn to God within. The anointing which you have of God abides in you and you need not the teaching of any man. Is this not a resurrection from the old thought? `Ye need not that any man teach you.' It is only necessary to receive the anointing from God that has always been yours. You may accept others as brother helpers but you are always instructed and led from within; the truth is there for you and you will find it.

"That truth always teaches that humanity is a complete unit; not a unity, but a great unit; combined with God they are the Great One. Humanity is more than a brotherhood. It is One Man, just as a vine and its branches are one vine. No one part or one unit can be separated from the whole. The Christ's prayer is `That they all may be One.'

"`He that hath done it unto the least of these my brethren, hath done it unto me.' Now you know the Christ for whom the whole family in heaven and on earth is named.

"The Truth is, `All is One'; One Spirit, One Body, the Great Lord Body of all humanity. The Great Love, Light, Life of God completely amalgamates that body into One Complete Whole."

The Kingdom of His Sovereignty

The Kingdom of God is the rule of our eternal sovereign Father God over all creatures and things. The Kingdom of God is also the designation for the sphere of salvation entered into at the new birth, and is synonymous with the Kingdom of Heaven and the Kingdom of His Sovereignty. The Kingdom of God embraces all created intelligence, throughout all the octaves of existence; those intelligences and spirits that are willingly subject to the Creator Source and Center - the Godhead of all created intelligence, those who are through their own free will choosing to have, and be in, fellowship with Him. The Kingdom of God is, therefore, the goal of thy life and existence. It is an eternal relationship and realization of the inherent potentials, both human and divine that exist within you right now. It is the birthing forth of thy inheritance, and it is the living bridge allowing you to cross-over into His Living Reality forevermore; it is the beginning of your progressive ascent unto the Father of all mercies. As God is eternal, the Kingdom is a spiritual Kingdom - found within all those who believe and through faith and trust and confidence in the indwelling Spirit of the Father, become renewed in mind and heart, and begin the process of regeneration within the limited human form, raising this human form into the more unlimited and eternal, immortal seamless garment of living light. 

You enter the Kingdom of God when you fulfill his law and live his will in thy nature and identity, thy consciousness, thy values, and thy inherent victory over all lesser things. And, when you enter the Kingdom you are rebirthed or born again into the immortal and eternal, still a uniquely personal individualization of His glory and power, honoring him in all ways, and having aligned eternally thy free will with his all-powerful will, you become a true son or daughter of him. You are then part of that Kingdom for eternity. It is a relationship "born of the spirit", and you will have confident assurance that it is so because the Spirit bears witness with our spirits. God our Father is sovereign, omnipotent, omniscient and the ruler over all of His creation. The Kingdom of God is entering into the Kingdom of His Sovereignty. It encompasses that development within you after lifetimes in the use and misuse of your creative power in thought, feeling, word, and deed. You are given entrance into that octave or that realm which is purely of Light without negativity, nor separation from Him, yet it is the very beginnings of thy journey inwards and upwards unto greater and greater realms of exquisite joy, creative fulfillment, and oneness with Him. You make that agreement to become his true son or daughter, subject to God and his plan of service for expanding His perfection and glory throughout creation . . . and will be for eternity.

In the Eternal Majesty of His Love and Mercy
Michael of Nebadon

The Power of the Word Spoken by Its Individualization

Through the power of the spoken word you will be setting into motion energies which build a momentum into light vibration. This inner relationship will be fueled by your choice and free will use to focus and place your life force attention upon the life force itself. A natural and intended expansion and deepening of your awareness will propel you into Light. The purification of your personal energies will become purified by the emanations from your Oversoul due to the bridge of truth, beauty, and goodness that you are building between the two aspects of your being. You will begin to experience a consciousness of the formless, nameless, indescribable essence that is your true identity and nature. Through the right use of your creative free will choices, you‘ll be directing your thought, emotion, spoken word, and actions towards the great quickening of your soul personality into light. This is the full and complete Atonement; the fulfillment of the Plan of Salvation through the Law of Redemption. It was this threefold initiation that was demonstrated by the Christ Intelligence through Master Jesus at that time in history.

You will be inviting the eternal spark of life given to you by the Father of Personalities and all life to expand in you and through you. You are giving it the go-ahead to take full command and control of your life and world and establish Harmony, Healing, and Pure Happiness. There is no other way designed for human life; it will then work towards correcting the age-old destructive conditions, densities, darkness of disharmony that has built an accumulation and a momentum within your Field of Receptivity. You have been carrying this mental, emotion, etheric field through every lifetime of experience; and it is this very field of life that has prevented you from a fuller life within Him until you resolve to clear the atomic structure by calling upon the fire of love to transfigure all into light (more on this as we go forward).

The right use of your conscious mind is the right use of free will and choice. As you ask, cooperate, and then allow for the great I AM to come forth and take full command, it will begin its work of establishing you in a state of permanent harmony. This is the beginning of your relationship with the totality. The degree of sincerity and desire you express in this Atonement process will influence the response you receive back from the Life itself because that life force obeys truth, love, beauty, and goodness. It will not respond to half-curious and semi-intended motivations. Your faith and trust allow for a fuller degree of response from the Spirit I AM.

In your invocations, you are commanding and decreeing Truth to become manifest. By feeling deeply and thinking one-pointedly, you will learn to breathe yourself into the Presence through your heart and mind. You will magnetize that same presence back into your garment of flesh expression. With your desire to purify your personal preconceived opinions and ideas into Truth, your personal agenda will crumble, and your conclusions, assumptions, and preconceived opinions and misidentifications will be consumed by the fire of love. You'll be arriving at the kind of relationship with Spirit that allows for a stronger cooperation with the fragment of Life, the particle of the great Light within you and enfolding you. This will enhance your personal spiritual relations with His Omnipresence. Claiming your true and only identity in Him by perceiving with your conscious mind the subtle and powerful Presence and commanding that your energies vibrate higher and higher, will accelerate and quicken the unfoldment unto closer frequency alignment with the Universal Spirit; Conscious cooperation with essence as it is individualized in and as you will bring forward its fullness.

Creatively imagine and visualize with deep feeling in your heart this great Presence. Earnest and sincere desire is the right use of your emotions; confident and faithful expectation in knowing that the god that you are, is a grain of sand on the great beachhead that can become conscious of being the beachhead itself. This is the right use of thought, feeling, spoken word, and action. Expressing firm demand by using your authority and right, you ability and power as Life itself, and holding with strength to the vision of Atonement is the right and highest use of your free will. Look into a mirror focusing upon your eyes and the Light that comes from your eyes. Perceive the formless enfolding essence and know that all form is merely superimposed on top of this essence of you. When you awaken to that realization, your knowing will become direct and more personal.

Through Grace you will Attain to the Kingdom of His Sovereignty

There are Virtues, Powers, and Attitudes which grow thy character, align thee with His righteousness, and give you the purity and perceptions from an eternal perspective that help you to receive more, and still more of His Glory and Perfection. These all help in maturing thy character to make the highest and wisest decisions and choices, and refine thy consciousness so that you are living His Will in Expression; you become His Will and Law in thy expression and action in thought, feeling, word, and deed or act. This brings forward from within you the fulfillment of the law of thy existence -  "As you create, so shall you experience your creations."

Is is in this way and approach to an enhanced way of living that you attain to the Kingdom of His Sovereignty; you embody more fully his nature of goodness, truth, and beauty, and you become dissolved more into his divine identity, at one with the Father Spirit within thee...this One Life Principle that is your destiny and inheritance to embrace. Daily you embrace eternity in changing your personal darkness into Light, readying thyself for the completion of all earth lifetimes in the Eternal Embrace. This is the transfiguration, resurrection, and ascension into immortal Light Everlasting...the seamless garment of eternal light everlasting.

I speak to those with eyes open to see, and ears able to hear, and a mind ready and willing to learn and expand in the precepts of attaining the Kingdom of His Sovereignty.

The Kingdom of God is the rule of our eternal sovereign Father God over all creatures and things.

By their fruits you shall know them

“The lamp of the body is the eye; if, therefore, your eye is generous, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is selfish, the whole body will be filled with darkness. If the very light which is in you is turned to darkness, how great is that darkness!”

Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and be led to glorify your Father who is in heaven.”

While light dispels darkness, it can also be so “blinding” as to confuse and frustrate. We are admonished to let our light so shine that our fellows will be guided into new and godly paths of enhanced living. Our light should so shine as not to attract attention to self. Even one’s vocation can be utilized as an effective “reflector” for the dissemination of this light of life.

Strong characters are not derived from not doing wrong but rather from actually doing right. Unselfishness is the badge of human greatness. The highest levels of self-realization are attained by worship and service. The happy and effective person is motivated, not by fear of wrongdoing, but by love of right doing.

“By their fruits you shall know them.” Personality is basically changeless; that which changes — grows — is the moral character. The major error of modern religions is negativism. The tree which bears no fruit is “hewn down and cast into the fire.” Moral worth cannot be derived from mere repression — obeying the injunction “Thou shalt not.” Fear and shame are unworthy motivations for religious living. Religion is valid only when it reveals the fatherhood of God and enhances the brotherhood of men.

An effective philosophy of living is formed by a combination of cosmic insight and the total of one’s emotional reactions to the social and economic environment. Remember: While inherited urges cannot be fundamentally modified, emotional responses to such urges can be changed; therefore the moral nature can be modified, character can be improved. In the strong character emotional responses are integrated and coordinated, and thus is produced a unified personality. Deficient unification weakens the moral nature and engenders unhappiness.

Without a worthy goal, life becomes aimless and unprofitable, and much unhappiness results. Jesus’ discourse at the ordination of the twelve constitutes a master philosophy of life. Jesus exhorted his followers to exercise experiential faith. He admonished them not to depend on mere intellectual assent, credulity, and established authority.

Education should be a technique of learning (discovering) the better methods of gratifying our natural and inherited urges, and happiness is the resulting total of these enhanced techniques of emotional satisfactions. Happiness is little dependent on environment, though pleasing surroundings may greatly contribute thereto.

Every mortal really craves to be a complete person, to be perfect even as the Father in heaven is perfect, and such attainment is possible because in the last analysis the “universe is truly fatherly.”

My Comforter Spirit Protects and Guides You

Contemplation: God is everywhere present; the Universal Father rules the circle of eternity. But he rules in the local universes in the persons of his Paradise Creator Sons, even as he bestows life through these Sons. “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Sons.” These Creator Sons of God are the personal expression of himself in the sectors of time and to the children of the whirling planets of the evolving universes of space. 

And so, I share this quote from the Urantia book revelation with you here as a Living Ideal for you to consider; for no one comes to the Father but through His Son and the sons of this Original Paradise Son. So, truly I would have you reach unto Me...through the Spirit of Truth which pervades thy being and by which I may outpour unto each of you who are studying with me personally here this refreshing and reinvigorating Water of Life, while I tend this garden of flesh for the few moments I am within the earth in this way; for this Spirit is My Spirit with the Father and the Son together as One Personalization for you - to protect you, to guide you, to love you, and to show you the way and approach to the Father of all existence who indwells thy soul and energy field desiring to merge as one being with you. In this way the pre-personal Spirit of the Father gains personalizations as you, and you gain the spiritual consciousness of immortality with Him eternally enhancing your personality and individuality as a unique expression of the Supreme God. 

When you invite Me into thy private meditations and communions with the indwelling Father Principle, and if you are receptive and in reverence to the Ideal that we share together, and as you trust in Me and have faith in our association . . . I am able to allow you to feel more potently and fully My Comforter Presence with the intention to have you gain a more profound experience of your own divine presence...your godhood at one with the Spirit of the Paradise Father indwelling and enfolding you.

Invocation: Paradise Father Spirit Indwelling, All-pervading Eternal Son, Omnipresent Immaculate Infinite Spirit … Expand thy Glory and Power throughout the field of humanity; establish thy Kingdom of Sovereignty in the hearts of each and every Individualization of thyself . . . let each soul become raised up unto thy glory and honor; Quicken all humanly misqualified and imperfect vibration within the Life Force ‘I AM’ unto thy Will and Perfection.

Invitation: “I AM thy Immortal Omnipotent Primordial Fire, the fuller expression of all you Desire.”
“I AM thy Seamless Crystal White Garment of Light, Ruling throughout with Omnipotent Might.”

Thy Sovereign Son

Retreat unto the Eternal Verities

Every problem and struggle and limitation has its solution within certain causes within the individual – causes that had been set into motion eons ago perhaps, and have been building an accumulation and a momentum of energy either going into greater Light and Love and all those god virtues or the energies have been working all along in opposition to your greatest expansion, healing, happiness, and harmony. 

Ultimately Love and Mercy are two of the most essential qualities because Love and Mercy is the literal glue that bonds all creations, all precipitations, and every manifestation that you could ever hope to bring forth in your life and world. Any personal problems are merely the outer effects that had been set into motion by specific causes long forgotten about within the individual. All possession of inner wealth and riches in love, wisdom, and power, all evolutionary human and spiritual attainment, and all outer achievements are based upon knowledge of the mastery of your Life Force energies. 

All true and lasting success for the soul has its roots and causes within this understanding wisdom and the use and application of these principles and laws – its precepts and powers – must be cultivated and nurtured by you. So the retreat into the eternal verities is a retreat into the deeper and fuller parts of your own being, your own soul, and your own fragment of Paradise which is given as a free gift of Life and Love by the Universal Father – the Absolute Creator of all life.


Our retreat together will be building that strength and clarity for you. You will have many opportunities to dissolve and sublimate all doubt and fear – by invoking yourself into the unchanging Truth and by applying and decreeing or commanding the Fire of Love – the Sacred Fire of the Life Force – to enter into your physical conditions and change all unwanted conditions into harmony, healing, and pure happiness. Educating yourself on these Life Mastery Principles and Powers creates a fertile soil to plant the right seeds that will blossom for you; focusing your time, energies, and efforts on identifying, examining, and erasing the weeds within your field of receptivity; weeds which are akin to being old destructive causes and their erroneous momentums and accumulations that have been operating behind the scenes, disallowing you from progressing more fiercely in your life over a multitude of lifetimes. The destructive energies that had been set into motion by prior decisions and choices in the misuse of your free will have been the energies preventing you from fully precipitating full mastery over your life.

In this retreat, you'll enter into setting into motion new causes and momentums of Light, Life, Love, Harmony, and Prosperity as you create the space within you by extinguishing all destructive rates of vibration which have accumulated within your subtle bodies – physical, emotional, mental, and etheric (the long term karmas and energetic tendencies, the multi-lifetime memories which have stayed with you over the course of every lifetime you have ever lived within the garment of flesh). Ultimately, you will be mastering harnessing the Life Force and the innocent Life energies of the Universal Father which you borrowed long ago to create life’s experiences, walking these energies into the salvation and redemption process which is often simply called transfiguration. You will be mastering transfiguring the vibrational rate of these energies into a higher vibrational rate that is not destructive and which does not have the tendency to degenerate into disease and death. You will be welcoming back into purity and pristine glory these innocent energies of the Father Principle which had become trapped and tortured in density and destructive qualities. There is no greater service anywhere in the universes!

Everlasting Dominion

“The new kingdom which my Father is about to set up in the hearts of his earth children is to be an everlasting dominion. There shall be no end of this rule of my Father in the hearts of those who desire to do his divine will. I declare to you that my Father is not the God of Jew or gentile. Many shall come from the east and from the west to sit down with us in the Father’s kingdom, while many of the children of Abraham will refuse to enter this new brotherhood of the rule of the Father’s spirit in the hearts of the children of men.


“The power of this kingdom shall consist, not in the strength of armies nor in the might of riches, but rather in the glory of the divine spirit that shall come to teach the minds and rule the hearts of the reborn citizens of this heavenly kingdom, the sons of God. This is the brotherhood of love wherein righteousness reigns, and whose battle cry shall be: Peace on earth and good will to all men. This kingdom, which you are so soon to go forth proclaiming, is the desire of the good men of all ages, the hope of all the earth, and the fulfillment of the wise promises of all the prophets.

“But for you, my children, and for all others who would follow you into this kingdom, there is set a severe test. Faith alone will pass you through its portals, but you must bring forth the fruits of my Father’s spirit if you would continue to ascend in the progressive life of the divine fellowship. Verily, verily, I say to you, not every one who says, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven; but rather he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.

“Your message to the world shall be: Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and in finding these, all other things essential to eternal survival shall be secured therewith. And now would I make it plain to you that this kingdom of my Father will not come with an outward show of power or with unseemly demonstration. You are not to go hence in the proclamation of the kingdom, saying, ‘it is here’ or ‘it is there,’ for this kingdom of which you preach is God within you.

The Personality Circuit

“God the Father loves men; God the Son serves men; God the Spirit inspires the children of the universe to the ever-ascending adventure of finding God the Father by the ways ordained by God the Sons through the ministry of the grace of God the Spirit.”

THE Universal Father has an eternal purpose pertaining to the material, intellectual, and spiritual phenomena of the universe of universes, which he is executing throughout all time. God created the universes of his own free and sovereign will, and he created them in accordance with his all-wise and eternal purpose. It is doubtful whether anyone except the Paradise Deities and their highest associates really knows very much about the eternal purpose of God. Even the exalted citizens of Paradise hold very diverse opinions about the nature of the eternal purpose of the Deities.

It is easy to deduce that the purpose in creating the perfect central universe of Havona was purely the satisfaction of the divine nature. Havona may serve as the pattern creation for all other universes and as the finishing school for the pilgrims of time on their way to Paradise; however, such a supernal creation must exist primarily for the pleasure and satisfaction of the perfect and infinite Creators.
The amazing plan for perfecting evolutionary mortals and, after their attainment of Paradise and the Corps of the Finality, providing further training for some undisclosed future work, does seem to be, at present, one of the chief concerns of the seven superuniverses and their many subdivisions; but this ascension scheme for spiritualizing and training the mortals of time and space is by no means the exclusive occupation of the universe intelligences. There are, indeed, many other fascinating pursuits which occupy the time and enlist the energies of the celestial hosts.

For ages the inhabitants of Urantia have misunderstood the providence of God. There is a providence of divine outworking on your world, but it is not the childish, arbitrary, and material ministry many mortals have conceived it to be. The providence of God consists in the interlocking activities of the celestial beings and the divine spirits who, in accordance with cosmic law, unceasingly labor for the honor of God and for the spiritual advancement of his universe children.

Can you not advance in your concept of God’s dealing with man to that level where you recognize that the watchword of the universe is progress? Through long ages the human race has struggled to reach its present position. Throughout all these millenniums Providence has been working out the plan of progressive evolution. The two thoughts are not opposed in practice, only in man’s mistaken concepts. Divine providence is never arrayed in opposition to true human progress, either temporal or spiritual. Providence is always consistent with the unchanging and perfect nature of the supreme Lawmaker.

Universal Sovereignty of God

Said Jesus: “My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all; and no one is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand.” As you glimpse the manifold workings and view the staggering immensity of God’s well-nigh limitless creation, you may falter in your concept of his primacy, but you should not fail to accept him as securely and everlastingly enthroned at the Paradise center of all things and as the beneficent Father of all intelligent beings. There is but “one God and Father of all, who is above all and in all,” “and he is before all things, and in him all things consist.”

The uncertainties of life and the vicissitudes of existence do not in any manner contradict the concept of the universal sovereignty of God. All evolutionary creature life is beset by certain inevitabilities. Consider the following:
1. Is courage — strength of character — desirable? Then must man be reared in an environment which necessitates grappling with hardships and reacting to disappointments.
2. Is altruism — service of one’s fellows — desirable? Then must life experience provide for encountering situations of social inequality.
3. Is hope — the grandeur of trust — desirable? Then human existence must constantly be confronted with insecurities and recurrent uncertainties.
4. Is faith — the supreme assertion of human thought — desirable? Then must the mind of man find itself in that troublesome predicament where it ever knows less than it can believe.
5. Is the love of truth and the willingness to go wherever it leads, desirable? Then must man grow up in a world where error is present and falsehood always possible.
6. Is idealism — the approaching concept of the divine — desirable? Then must man struggle in an environment of relative goodness and beauty, surroundings stimulative of the irrepressible reach for better things.
7. Is loyalty — devotion to highest duty — desirable? Then must man carry on amid the possibilities of betrayal and desertion. The valor of devotion to duty consists in the implied danger of default.
8. Is unselfishness — the spirit of self-forgetfulness — desirable? Then must mortal man live face to face with the incessant clamoring of an inescapable self for recognition and honor. Man could not dynamically choose the divine life if there were no self-life to forsake. Man could never lay saving hold on righteousness if there were no potential evil to exalt and differentiate the good by contrast.
9. Is pleasure — the satisfaction of happiness — desirable? Then must man live in a world where the alternative of pain and the likelihood of suffering are ever-present experiential possibilities.

Throughout the universe, every unit is regarded as a part of the whole. Survival of the part is dependent on co-operation with the plan and purpose of the whole, the wholehearted desire and perfect willingness to do the Father’s divine will. The only evolutionary world without error (the possibility of unwise judgment) would be a world without free intelligence. In the Havona universe there are a billion perfect worlds with their perfect inhabitants, but evolving man must be fallible if he is to be free. Free and inexperienced intelligence cannot possibly at first be uniformly wise. The possibility of mistaken judgment (evil) becomes sin only when the human will consciously endorses and knowingly embraces a deliberate immoral judgment.

Living Faith

Jesus brought to God, as a man of the realm, the greatest of all offerings: the consecration and dedication of his own will to the majestic service of doing the divine will. Jesus always and consistently interpreted religion wholly in terms of the Father’s will. When you study the career of the Master, as concerns prayer or any other feature of the religious life, look not so much for what he taught as for what he did. Jesus never prayed as a religious duty. To him prayer was a sincere expression of spiritual attitude, a declaration of soul loyalty, a recital of personal devotion, an expression of thanksgiving, an avoidance of emotional tension, a prevention of conflict, an exaltation of intellection, an ennoblement of desire, a vindication of moral decision, an enrichment of thought, an invigoration of higher inclinations, a consecration of impulse, a clarification of viewpoint, a declaration of faith, a transcendental surrender of will, a sublime assertion of confidence, a revelation of courage, the proclamation of discovery, a confession of supreme devotion, the validation of consecration, a technique for the adjustment of difficulties, and the mighty mobilization of the combined soul powers to withstand all human tendencies toward selfishness, evil, and sin. He lived just such a life of prayerful consecration to the doing of his Father’s will and ended his life triumphantly with just such a prayer. The secret of his unparalleled religious life was this consciousness of the presence of God; and he attained it by intelligent prayer and sincere worship — unbroken communion with God — and not by leadings, voices, visions, or extraordinary religious practices.

In the earthly life of Jesus, religion was a living experience, a direct and personal movement from spiritual reverence to practical righteousness. The faith of Jesus bore the transcendent fruits of the divine spirit. His faith was not immature and credulous like that of a child, but in many ways it did resemble the unsuspecting trust of the child mind. Jesus trusted God much as the child trusts a parent. He had a profound confidence in the universe — just such a trust as the child has in its parental environment. Jesus’ wholehearted faith in the fundamental goodness of the universe very much resembled the child’s trust in the security of its earthly surroundings. He depended on the heavenly Father as a child leans upon its earthly parent, and his fervent faith never for one moment doubted the certainty of the heavenly Father’s overcare. He was not disturbed seriously by fears, doubts, and skepticism. Unbelief did not inhibit the free and original expression of his life. He combined the stalwart and intelligent courage of a full-grown man with the sincere and trusting optimism of a believing child. His faith grew to such heights of trust that it was devoid of fear.
The faith of Jesus attained the purity of a child’s trust. His faith was so absolute and undoubting that it responded to the charm of the contact of fellow beings and to the wonders of the universe. His sense of dependence on the divine was so complete and so confident that it yielded the joy and the assurance of absolute personal security. There was no hesitating pretense in his religious experience. In this giant intellect of the full-grown man the faith of the child reigned supreme in all matters relating to the religious consciousness. It is not strange that he once said, “Except you become as a little child, you shall not enter the kingdom.” Notwithstanding that Jesus’ faith was childlike, it was in no sense childish.

Divine Mirror

All that you are experiencing in your life right now and at this lifetime is reflecting back to you what you hold to be real and of value regardless of whether or not it is to your liking. It is a reflection and a mirror image and symbol of the qualities and virtues that you have been making real and true for you, and the qualities that you have been holding valuable. This is the great learning of lifetimes of expression. When you finally decide to hold valuable all that is Pure and True in God, then you will be given the ticket of opening your heart and mind to the divine inheritance and immaculate conception that God Himself holds for you through the indwelling Paradise Spirit that walks with you in each and every moment of your pathway. The immaculate conception is the living gospel and ideal that is God's Will and Intent . . . His plan and design for you, and He allows you to come into it naturally without forcing you or compelling you to arrive at His Truth. You, of your own decisions, character, and choices must freely will for thyself, and whatsoever you will for thyself becomes your reality over time.

'I AM' is another word symbol or name for the Almighty God force everywhere present and at the Godhead. When you invoke the 'I AM' using that name you are giving recognition and acknowledgement, honor and praise unto the One God Source and Center, and you are including that you are a living part of Him...a member of the Body of the One God. You are His Individualization . . . His Personalization . . . within time and space creation. You are God localized and personalized and individualized made in His image in that you hold creative attributes within your own microcosmic domain . . . your individual domain of life. All that you are and have been experiencing in your life is of your own making because you have this creative power through thought and feeling, attention and focus. Wherever you place your individual attention and focus, and whatsoever you make real and accept as real and true for thyself, sets into motion or movement vibrational changes which continue to act in your personal existence over lifetimes of expression until recalled and redeemed by you, its personal creator. You are a creator within your own personal universe, your own domain and life field. You create the destiny for thyself according to this creative power, and the beam of magnetic attraction that you hold within your consciousness is your single most powerful gift from the Paradise Father indwelling you.

Invitation: "I AM the Consuming Power of Sacred Fire Love annihilating every imperfect vibration within the Body of Humanity."

Worldwide Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter Fellowship

I AM come unto the flesh garments of this world to give unto those with the ears to hear and the eyes to see and the mind which desires to learn and receive a greater portion of the Omnipresent Spirit...the waters of Life which I AM.

Say unto Me within this all-pervading Spirit of Truth that you wish to receive of Me just now. Wherever you may be, I will reach to you flooding your mind and heart with My presence and Power, My guidance and directive purpose for you individually. For each is a part of My Being within the Supreme Being of us all; for I am omnipresent and yet, my Spirit is dependent upon your free will reception of Me in order to come into your life and world each day. In this way, ye shall begin to know Me in my expression as Michael of this Universe . . . Son of the Everlasting Father and the Eternal Son of Paradise sent to guide, nurture, and minister unto all this creation. I AM for all to partake of.

Make this statement to Me directly right within thy own heart and mind: 
"All-pervading Holy Comforter, Spirit of Michael, I ask to receive of your guidance. Please lead me unto all Truth so that I may know with certainty the right direction to take, the highest and wisest thing for me to be doing at this time in my life. Please show me Truth in every way, even those things within me that are preventing my growth and maturing in the Supreme Essence that I AM."

I outpour the Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter of Myself unto you who are reading these words throughout the world. All ye who can receive of Me...who have ears to hear the divine instruction and the inner eyes to perceive Truth and Love...and the willingness to receive of help and guidance...receive of the Comforter Presence and allow Me to guide you unto the Father of all Mercies right within you...for the Spirit of the Father of Paradise exists right within you behind your next breath and as the very animating power and intelligence of you...your nature and identity. Claim this now for thyself and ye shall step closer unto freedom.

Raise thyself unto the Father within you that is your very Selfhood; for He is come to carry you unto eternity...eternal life everlasting. Through thy renewing of your personal human mind into the Greater Infinite Mind, you hold the power to erase all separation in consciousness...to become at one with Him. Call upon the Fire of Love to come forth and erase and quicken all obstructions to Love within your field of receptivity...your personal consciousness...allow your energies to be redeemed by recognizing that all that happens for you is of your own making...through your own use of the force of His Life, His Energy, His Spirit, His Life Force, you set all in motion when combined with your own personal thought, feeling, spoken word, and actions.

Breathe deeply now and take Him into thee. Breathe in thy greater Presence all around you, and as You. Recognize and give to Him all acknowledgement for thy life and existence. Say unto Him, " Paradise Spirit, I give to you all thanks, all credit for everything good and true that has come into my life journey. I desire to be with you, to follow you, to fulfill your will and way which will lead me unto thee in every way possible. I own myself within you. I claim my nature and identity in and as you Father. You are the way, the truth, and the life of my existence. I recognize myself in you, as you, and I give to you all power to awaken me in my identity in you, as you Father."

He is the animating Intelligence and Power that is your nature and identity; and He is the energy that you have been using your entire existence to walk, eat, speak, think, feel, and conduct thy life. He desires intensely to merge with you, to become one with you, and to carry you upward unto full atonement, complete fusion with Him in the sacred initiation of the transfiguration of all error into light, resurrection of thyself into the higher Mind of the Christ or Buddha within you, and the ascension into your own God divinity in the higher octaves of pure light from which I've descended to help guide you unto full freedom and union with the Father Presence.

Seek to find and understand His Will and Intent, and give thyself to it. For that is the quickest route unto union with Him. The One Unified Deity expresses Himself initially as three Persons at the very Source and Center of all things. As the Person of the Paradise Father at the Center and Source of all existence and directly within our own consciousness, He is the Creator of all personalities and He is the paradise Spirit which comes down to travel with you and merge with you to become one eternally capable personality; as the Person of the Eternal Son of Paradise, He pervades everywhere as the Living Word of the great I AM that I AM, and is the very Spirit gravity that gradually draws all life upward...inward unto the Core, Source, and Center; and as the Person of the Infinite Spirit, He is the Source and Center of all Mind and Intellectual Values. He is the God of Action, Healing, and Harmony throughout the Universes of the evolutionary creation. He extends into these local universes as the Infinite Mother Spirit...the Holy Spirit which pervades everywhere and is the Divine Minister and the Fire of Love which you may call upon to erase your mistakes and error. The Father and Son combine to personalize the Creator Son and Universe Sovereign who is known throughout the universe as Michael, and who you know to be Jesus of Nazareth. The Michael lifestream pours out the Spirit of Truth Holy Comforter presence as a teacher and guide for all regardless of your religious orientation or philosophical bent. As long as you are receptive to this Truth Spirit...this Comforter Presence, He will lead you unto all Truth and Love which is the Father Principle right within you. He is not merely for Christians or Catholics or one particular sect or creed. He is bestowed upon humanity for all human beings to partake of. The Spirit of Truth is My personal spiritual presence and is the primary way for us to deepen our fellowship. It is the most powerful way for you to awaken into atonement with the Father. The Michael Lifestream is the personalization of Truth... In this Spiritual Presence of the Comforter you will be able to absorb greater consciousness as a pure conviction of Truth and Life. The Comforter is slightly different than the Holy Spirit of the Mother, yet the Comforter is centered within Her being. It is My drawing power to assist you to move thyself into union with the Paradise Spirit within. This Holy Comforter of My being is the guidance given to humanity by the Father. You have the free will choice to reach for Him and make use of this Truth Spirit as your personal Guide and Teacher in our fellowship together.

This is the Threefold Endowment to humanity and to all life everywhere meant to be used to raise each individualization of the One Supreme God...and when you awaken unto the Supreme Spirit you do your part to expand the Kingdom of the Supreme into and throughout the creation of time and space.

I remain thy father, brother, friend, and thy very Self within the Light All-pervading...the Body of the Supreme God.

Cultivate a Faith that is Personal, Living, Original, Spontaneous, and Purely Spiritual

In the Master’s life on Urantia, this and all other worlds of the local creation discover a new and higher type of religion, religion based on personal spiritual relations with the Universal Father and wholly validated by the supreme authority of genuine personal experience. This living faith of Jesus was more than an intellectual reflection, and it was not a mystic meditation.

Theology may fix, formulate, define, and dogmatize faith, but in the human life of Jesus faith was personal, living, original, spontaneous, and purely spiritual. This faith was not reverence for tradition nor a mere intellectual belief which he held as a sacred creed, but rather a sublime experience and a profound conviction which securely held him. His faith was so real and all-encompassing that it absolutely swept away any spiritual doubts and effectively destroyed every conflicting desire. Nothing was able to tear him away from the spiritual anchorage of this fervent, sublime, and undaunted faith. Even in the face of apparent defeat or in the throes of disappointment and threatening despair, he calmly stood in the divine presence free from fear and fully conscious of spiritual invincibility. Jesus enjoyed the invigorating assurance of the possession of unflinching faith, and in each of life’s trying situations he unfailingly exhibited an unquestioning loyalty to the Father’s will. And this superb faith was undaunted even by the cruel and crushing threat of an ignominious death.

In a religious genius, strong spiritual faith so many times leads directly to disastrous fanaticism, to exaggeration of the religious ego, but it was not so with Jesus. He was not unfavorably affected in his practical life by his extraordinary faith and spirit attainment because this spiritual exaltation was a wholly unconscious and spontaneous soul expression of his personal experience with God.

The all-consuming and indomitable spiritual faith of Jesus never became fanatical, for it never attempted to run away with his well-balanced intellectual judgments concerning the proportional values of practical and commonplace social, economic, and moral life situations. The Son of Man was a splendidly unified human personality; he was a perfectly endowed divine being; he was also magnificently coordinated as a combined human and divine being functioning on earth as a single personality. Always did the Master co-ordinate the faith of the soul with the wisdom-appraisals of seasoned experience. Personal faith, spiritual hope, and moral devotion were always correlated in a matchless religious unity of harmonious association with the keen realization of the reality and sacredness of all human loyalties — personal honor, family love, religious obligation, social duty, and economic necessity.

The faith of Jesus visualized all spirit values as being found in the kingdom of God; therefore he said, “Seek first the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus saw in the advanced and ideal fellowship of the kingdom the achievement and fulfillment of the “will of God.” The very heart of the prayer which he taught his disciples was, “Your kingdom come; your will be done.” Having thus conceived of the kingdom as comprising the will of God, he devoted himself to the cause of its realization with amazing self-forgetfulness and unbounded enthusiasm. But in all his intense mission and throughout his extraordinary life there never appeared the fury of the fanatic nor the superficial frothiness of the religious egotist.

The Master’s entire life was consistently conditioned by this living faith, this sublime religious experience. This spiritual attitude wholly dominated his thinking and feeling, his believing and praying, his teaching and preaching. This personal faith of a son in the certainty and security of the guidance and protection of the heavenly Father imparted to his unique life a profound endowment of spiritual reality. And yet, despite this very deep consciousness of close relationship with divinity, this Galilean, God’s Galilean, when addressed as Good Teacher, instantly replied, “Why do you call me good?” When we stand confronted by such splendid self-forgetfulness, we begin to understand how the Universal Father found it possible so fully to manifest himself to him and reveal himself through him to the mortals of the realms.

Jesus brought to God, as a man of the realm, the greatest of all offerings: the consecration and dedication of his own will to the majestic service of doing the divine will. Jesus always and consistently interpreted religion wholly in terms of the Father’s will. When you study the career of the Master, as concerns prayer or any other feature of the religious life, look not so much for what he taught as for what he did. Jesus never prayed as a religious duty. To him prayer was a sincere expression of spiritual attitude, a declaration of soul loyalty, a recital of personal devotion, an expression of thanksgiving, an avoidance of emotional tension, a prevention of conflict, an exaltation of intellection, an ennoblement of desire, a vindication of moral decision, an enrichment of thought, an invigoration of higher inclinations, a consecration of impulse, a clarification of viewpoint, a declaration of faith, a transcendental surrender of will, a sublime assertion of confidence, a revelation of courage, the proclamation of discovery, a confession of supreme devotion, the validation of consecration, a technique for the adjustment of difficulties, and the mighty mobilization of the combined soul powers to withstand all human tendencies toward selfishness, evil, and sin. He lived just such a life of prayerful consecration to the doing of his Father’s will and ended his life triumphantly with just such a prayer. The secret of his unparalleled religious life was this consciousness of the presence of God; and he attained it by intelligent prayer and sincere worship — unbroken communion with God — and not by leadings, voices, visions, or extraordinary religious practices.

Thy Sovereign Son
Michael of Nebadon

The Christos is thy Destiny beyond Time

I believe in the Unutterable Divine Principle, which abides in each human being, and I believe in the birth of Christ in the human soul on its way to perfection. Moreover, every educated man knows the significance of the terms Krestos or Kristos (Christ), and that they were taken from the pagan vocabulary. I wrote recently to one of my co-workers about the meaning of this term, and I will repeat it to you. Krestos was the designation given to a neophyte who was on probation as a candidate for the degree of Hierophant. Only after a disciple went through all the sufferings and passed all the tests, in the last ritual of initiation he was anointed and became according to the language of the Mysteries, Christ, "the purified.” His finite personality was fused with his infinite individuality and he then became an immortal Ego. For the first Christians, the word Christos or Christ was synonymous with our higher Ego. In this sense, one should understand that Christ is the Redeemer of sins. Thus, the redemption of personal sins is performed by the soul – the conductor and the messenger of Christ — perpetually, during the long chain of earthly lives of our individual Ego. "The Christ on the cross, of every human being, must descend into Hades at some point of its evolution, in order to bring back to normal conditions the soul that has been plunged therein as an effect of the evil deeds of its lower self. In other words, Divine Love must reach down into the heart of man, conquer and regenerate the man, before he can appreciate the enormity of his offenses against Divine Law and forgive himself for the sins committed against himself, and forgiveness must be obtained to complete at-one-ment."
